Feels like we lost today.

Last night after the game and all day today the Reds stood atop the NL Central standings everywhere you looked(I know it was a 3 way tie but we we were listed first).Now when you look at the standing we sit in the very familiar 4th spot in the standings.:thumbdown

Unimportant question.If teams are tied in the standings in every possible way is there something other then a web sites or news papers personal preference that dictates the order they are shown in?

The days the Reds are off suck......I was sitting around my house after work and thinking what the heck am i gonna do with myself tonight......I decided I will have to go out with my friends to the bars......I will say it is the last two nights I will ever be in Toledo with my friends.....Well I Hope hah....Been in Toledo going to College for 4 years......Been working in Toledo for 3 years.....Promotion to New Orleans.....Great for the promotion but not great for watching the Reds.....MLB.TV.....For once I will be able to utilize MLB.TV.....Atleast the Reds will be playing in San Diego and the 10:00pm start time is great b/c I will be able to watch the whole game in the bar while i'm having a good time in Toledo for the last time

Teams play one game playoffs if the standing are tied, so it really doesn't matter. Or are you asking if how they're sorted through the year? It really doesn't matter. I imagine every place does it differently.

Go figure this though, when STL, Milwaukee, and Cincy were tied yesterday, they were put in exactly that order on ESPN.com, even though STL had a higher run differential. Today, STL is above Milwaukee in the 'tie' the same way, and we're 'above' the Cubs in the same tie, with less runs scored and a smaller differential. On sportsline.com its just the opposite. Milwaukee is listed 'higher' than STL, and the Cubs are listed 'higher' than us. On MLB.com its the same thing.

Who knows how who gets priority in standings. In the end its settled by a playoff anyway.
